My Datsun 510

ABC Datsun 510
One of the coolest cars ever...in 1:10 AND 1:1 scale!

It’s an understatement that I love RC. It’s fun, it’s relaxing (sometimes), and I like to win. There has been a BIG kick in the scale area, and a company called ABC Hobby recently released a mini-scale 4wd vehicle called the ABC Genetic Mini. I did a review on this car a couple issues ago and not only did it work exceptionally well, the one defining factor is the killer bodies that are being released with it. Case in point, one of my all time favorite cars…both RC and 1:1 – the Datsun 510. This car has a major history with both the racing world and the street crowd, and it is a dream car of mine. One day I will have one, competely tricked out with a turbo conversion, full cage, racing seats and harnesses, fuel cell, a cool paint job, sticky tires and 15″ Mini-Lite wheels. But for now, I’ll blast around the track with ABC’s ol’ skool 510.
